About the DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers
The DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers (see figure 1 on the next page) switchers
distribute HDCP-compliant HDMI and Extron proprietary DTP or XTP video and audio
signals. A matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. It can route
multiple input and output configurations simultaneously.
The Extron DTP CrossPoint 4K Series are 10x8 matrix switchers with HDMI and DTP
twisted pair inputs and outputs, 4K scaling, audio DSP with AEC, an integrated audio
power amplifier, and a built-in IPCP Pro 350 control processor. It provides complete system
integration for large AV systems in a 3U enclosure, supporting applications requiring several
displays, sound reinforcement, and AV system control. All inputs and outputs support video
resolutions up to 4K. The DTP matrix outputs are powered by Extron Vector 4K scaling
technology, capable of seamless switching and scaled resolutions up to 4K. DTP extension
allows connection to DTP endpoints and XTP matrix switchers. Full audio optimization is
provided by a built-in Extron ProDSP audio digital signal processor that can be linked to a
second Extron DSP for I/O expansion.
The DTP CrossPoint 4K Series consists of the following models, differentiated by their audio
and control capabilities:
• DTP CrossPoint 108 4K
• DTP CrossPoint 108 4K IPCP SA
• DTP CrossPoint 108 4K IPCP MA
The switchers have RS-232 and infrared (IR) insertion ports on all DTP inputs and outputs
that allow you to route bidirectional control signals to the connected devices.
The switchers provide four mono microphone (mic)/line level inputs that can be mixed with
one or all audio outputs. Adjustable mic input audio gain and attenuation compensates for
level differences among audio inputs. The DTP CrossPoint 4K Series also include a built-in
digital signal processor (DSP) that provides a wide variety of microphone pre-amplifier
controls, mixers, filters, dynamics processors, and feedback suppressors.
The mic/line inputs have a talkover feature that automatically reduces the program audio
group when mic/line input is present. When the mic/line input is not present, the program
audio group is restored to the set volume level. The mic talkover threshold is adjustable from
0 dB to -60 dB.

Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered; switching is accomplished with
virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels. Audio that is switched through the
DSP can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio
breakaway). Embedded digital audio always follows the video.
The switcher has a rear panel serial port and a front panel USB port for remote control and
reporting. The IPCP models also feature the built-in Extron IPCP Pro 350 control processor,
which has three rear panel local area network (LAN) Ethernet ports. The non-IPCP
model has one Ethernet port. The matrix switcher is programmed with the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS), a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control
through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS
commands can be entered via the RS-232 port, USB port, or the LAN ports.
The LAN ports can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network
(WAN).
The DTP CrossPoint can be operated by any of the following connected to the serial port,
USB port, or a LAN port:
• A control system
• A PC and any of the following:
• The Extron SIS
• The Extron Windows-based DSP Configurator program
• The Extron Windows-based Product Configuration Software (PCS)
• An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel
• An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel
• (RS-232 only) An Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel and/or MKP 1000 remote
keypad
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction2

Setup of the IPCP control processor, built into IPCP models, requires the Extron Global
Configurator, available for download from the Extron website. The IPCP offers Ethernet control
of external devices and provides RS-232 and IR-based control, relays, and digital I/O controls
that can control and monitor a variety of external devices, such as projectors and lights.
The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 3U high metal enclosure with mounting flanges
for a standard 19-inch rack. The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with the switcher.
The switcher has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 180 watts power supply that
provides worldwide power compatibility.
DTP Input and Output Signals
The DTP inputs and outputs are proprietary signals that are created within any of the Extron
DTP Extender systems and transmitted over a single shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
The DTP CrossPoint accepts DTP inputs from transmitting devices such as the
DTP T USW 333. Depending on the connected transmitting model, it generates the DTP
signal from a variety of video and audio inputs, including HDMI, DVI, analog VGA, and
embedded and analog audio. The DTP signal can also include bidirectional RS-232 and IR
control signals from the connected transmitting and receiving devices or inserted locally, on
the DTP CrossPoint switcher.
Depending on the transmitting or receiving device, the DTP inputs and outputs can travel up
to 330 feet (100 meters) or 230 feet (70 meters) without a loss of signal integrity.
The following terms apply to all Extron matrix switchers and are used throughout this guide:
• Tie — An input-to-output video and/or line audio connection.
• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input).
• Configuration — One or more ties, one or more sets of ties. The “configuration” also
can include some or all of the signal processor settings that can be made in the DSP
Configurator program.
• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also
called configuration 0).
• Preset — A full or partial configuration (a subset of ties, sets of ties, or signal processor
settings) with accompanying audio settings that has been stored.
NOTES:
• Presets can be created only by using the DSP Configurator or Product
Configuration Software programs.
• When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
• Up to 32 partial or presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are
assigned to the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 18 preset locations
can be recalled from the front panel. Preset numbers larger than 18 are
accessible under remote control.
• Presets can also be recalled using SIS commands, using the Product
Configuration Software, or using the DSP Configurator program.
• When a preset consisting of full configurations is recalled, it completely
overwrites the current configuration.
• When a preset consisting of one or more partial configurations is recalled, it
overwrites only a portion of the current configuration, leaving other ties and
settings unchanged.

DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction5
Page 14
Mic ducking — Automatically reduces program audio when a microphone or other
incoming audio signal is detected, replacing the need for a separate audio ducking
processor.
Studio grade 24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters —
Professional converters fully preserve the integrity of the original audio signal.
Fixed, low latency DSP processing — Input to output latency is a constant 4.5 ms within
the DTP CrossPoint 108 4K, regardless of the number of active channels or processes.
Fixed, low latency processing keeps audio in sync with video, and prevents distractions to
the presenter resulting from delayed live audio.
DSP Configurator Software — A powerful yet user-friendly PC-based software tool for
managing all audio operations of the DTP CrossPoint 4K Series. It enables complete setup
and configuration of digital audio processing tools on the DSP platform, as well as routing
and mixing.
Group masters — The DTP CrossPoint 4K Series provides the capability to consolidate
gain or mute control throughout the system. Gain or mute controls can be selected and
added to a group master, which can then be controlled by a single master fader or mute
control. Up to 32 group masters can be created.
Soft limits provide optimal group master adjustment range — The group master
volume range can be limited using soft limits to maintain optimal minimum and maximum
levels when using external volume control. This prevents operators from over or under
adjusting levels when using Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 control. The DSP Configurator
Software provides quick drag-and-drop adjustment of soft limits from the Group Controls
screen.
32 DSP Configurator presets — Using the DSP Configurator Software, any or all
parameters for DSP processing, levels, AV matrix switching ties, and audio matrix mixing
can be saved as presets.
NOTE: When you save a preset using the Product Configuration Software, any of the
DSP Configurator settings described above that are associated with the audio inputs
and output involved in the preset are also saved as part of the preset.
Flexible matrix design provides output, virtual, and expansion routing options —
The DSP architecture of the DTP CrossPoint 108 4K employs an intuitive matrix design that
offers substantial flexibility in routing, mixing, and processing audio input sources. An output
matrix allows any of the four microphone inputs to be matrix mixed to any or all of the four
stereo outputs of the AV switcher block. If desired, any of the microphone inputs or AV
switcher outputs can first be directed into a virtual matrix, which routes the inputs to eight
virtual buses, before being mixed back into the output matrix. Virtual buses allow inputs to
be processed together as a group. The expansion matrix provides signal routing between
the DTP CrossPoint 4K Series and a DMP 128 processor linked via the expansion port.
Building blocks processor settings — A collection of pre-designed processor
settings optimized for a specific type of input or output device, such as microphones and
Extron speakers, with preset levels, filters, dynamics, and more. Flexible building blocks
are available on each row of DSP building blocks and allow system designers to fully
customize and save their own building blocks, further streamlining audio system design and
integration.

EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices.
EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for
display.
QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) with tri-color backlit buttons —
Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification. The buttons illuminate red, green, or
amber depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
Presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be recalled either from the QuickSwitch
Front Panel Controller, Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 serial control.
Output muting control — Provides the capability to mute one or all outputs at any time.
This allows, for example, content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the
main presentation display.
Aspect ratio control — For inputs delivered to the scaled (HDMI and DTP) outputs, the
aspect ratio of the video can be controlled by selecting a fill mode, which provides a full
screen output, or a follow mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input
signal.

Auto Input Memory — When activated for an input delivered to the scaled (HDMI and
DTP) outputs, the unit automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based on
the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are
automatically recalled from memory.
Output Standby Mode — The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output
to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or
flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance
lamp or panel life.
User presets — Presets are available for each input to store and recall optimized image
settings.
Internal video test patterns for calibration and setup — The unit offers several test
patterns for the scaled (HDMI and DTP) outputs, to facilitate proper system setup and
calibration of display devices.
Automatic input cable equalization, up to 100 feet (30 meters), at 1080p at 60 Hz,
with 8-bit color when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable — Actively conditions
incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables or source
devices with poor HDMI signal output. 4K at 30 Hz, and 2560x1600 at 60 Hz resolutions
are equalized to 50 feet (15 meters). Improves performance when using low quality cables.
Automatic HDMI output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of digital video
signals at each HDMI output, eliminating high frequency jitter to ensure reliable transmission
over long cables.
Remote power — Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on each HDMI output for powering
external peripheral devices, such as the Extron DVI 104. Power provided via an HDMI
output eliminates the need of a separate power supply for the connected peripheral device.
Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments.
In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the matrix switcher
from the front panel controller.
Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables control and proactive monitoring over a
LAN, WAN, or the Internet. An intuitive Web interface is included for basic configuration of
the unit.
Built-in Web pages — Enables the use of a standard browser for device monitoring and
troubleshooting over an intuitive Web interface.
RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a control
system. Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of
basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having to
access the rear panel.
RJ-45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP ports — Provides a means for validating
signal flow and operation, allowing quick identification of connectivity issues.
Easy setup and commissioning with the Extron Product Configuration Software
(PCS) — Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.

All of the RJ-45 ports; the TP input and output ports, the Expansion port, and the LAN
(Ethernet) ports on the switcher or IPCP control processor; use twisted pair cables. It is
essential that the TP cables be the correct type and that they be properly terminated with
the correct pinout. The TP cable can be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable or
a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 11). All
these cables are terminated with RJ-45 connectors. All TP cables are limited to a length of
330 feet (100 m).
NOTES:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

• Patch (straight) cable —
• TP input and output ports — Shielded twisted pair (STP) for connection to Extron
DTP transmitters and receivers, XTP matrix switchers, or HDBaseT-enabled devices.
• Expansion port — STP for connection between the matrix switcher and a
DMP 128. A shielded, terminated 1-foot cable is included with the DMP 128.
• LAN ports — Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or STP for connection of the LAN port
to an Ethernet LAN or direct connection between the switcher and a computer.
• Crossover cable —
• LAN ports — UTP or STP for direct connection between the DTP CrossPoint 4K
matrix switcher and a connected computer.
LAN ports
The LAN ports require CAT 3, CAT 5e, or CAT 6a, crossover or patch cables.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher LAN port supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex
and full-duplex Ethernet connections. TP inputs and outputs support 100Base-T only.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T (max. 155 Mbps) or 1000Base-T Fast Ethernet require CAT 5e UTP or STP
cable at minimum.
For ports on an IPCP module, see the IPCP Pro Series User Guide at

TP and Expansion ports
The TP input and output ports are compatible with Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables, as
well as CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable. The
Expansion port requires CAT 5e, 6, 6a, or 7 shielded twisted pair cable.
For the TP ports only —
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect these ports to a computer data or telecommunications network.
• Ne connectez pas ces port à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de
télécommunications.
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or
STP201 cable to link the matrix switcher to Extron DTP or XTP products or
HDBaseT-enabled devices.
• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier la grille de commutation avec des produits XTP ou DTP
d’Extron, ou des appareils équipés HDBaseT.
• To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are
required.
• Afin de s’assurer de la compatibilité entre FCC ClasseA et CE, les câbles STP et
les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 cables and connectors for the best performance:
• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-236-03
• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-235-03
• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02
• If you are not using XTP DTP 24 cable, Extron recommends, at a minimum, using
24 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard as straight-
thru (patch) cables only (see figure 11 on the previous page).
• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,
punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points
are required, use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE: When using cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 65 feet (20 meters), where cables are
straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

NOTES:
• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch
(5 millimeters).
• If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may
touch, causing a short circuit.
• If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled
out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned
wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway allows you to select from
any one of the audio input sources and route it separately from its corresponding video
source (see Example 3: Remove a tie from a set of ties on page 33). A tie with audio
breakaway can only be performed if, in the DSP Configurator, the OutputSignalSource
is set to FromDSP (see Output signal processor chain, Volume controls on page 103).
You can make audio breakaway ties with an SIS command (see page 58) or the Product

Front Panel Operations
The following sections detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for
the following actions:
• Creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations (see page 30)
• Changing a configuration (see page 32)
• Viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations (see page 34)
• Recalling a preset (see page 37)
• Assigning and Unassigning Logos (see page 38)
• Configuring the audio inputs (see page 40)
• Configuring the TP insertion ports (see page 41)
• Reading and setting the Remote port baud rate (see page 42)
• Toggling background illumination on and off (see page 42)
• Locking and unlocking the front panel (see page 43)
• Performing a front panel reset (see page 44)
Power
Apply power by connecting the power cord between the switcher and an AC source. The
switcher performs a self-test that blinks the front panel button indicators red, green, and
amber and then turns them off. An error-free power-up self-test sequence leaves all input,
output, and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination and the Video
button and the Audio button lit.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is
applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. If your
switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline. See
www.extron.com for the phone number in your region of the world.
Front Panel Security Lockouts
In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the switcher is in Lock mode 0
(fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:
• Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting Lock
mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.
• Lock mode 2 — Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic functions
are unlocked.
NOTE: The switcher is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2. See Setting the
Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes) on page 43 for a detailed list of basic and
advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel locks.

Making Ties
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current
configuration as follows:
1. Press the Esc button to clear any input button indicators, output button indicators, or
control button indicators that may be lit.
2. Press the Video button and Audio button as necessary to select video, audio, or both
for configuration.
3. Select the desired input and one or more outputs by pressing the input and output
buttons.
• Input buttons and output buttons light or blink:
• Amber to indicate video and audio ties
• Green to indicate video only ties
• Red to indicate audio only ties
• To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an input
is selected.
• To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate color when an
input is selected.
• To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons. To
indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an output
is deselected but not untied from the input.
4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie or to break an existing tie.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or clear additional ties until the desired configuration
is complete.
NOTES:
• Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.
• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was
previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.
• If an input with no tie is selected, only the button for the selected input lights.
• When the Video button and the Audio button are lit, if an input with an audio tie
but no video tie is selected, the button for the input and the button for the output
light the appropriate color (amber, green, or red).
• As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks the
appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for outputs that were already
tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are already tied
can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the
associated output button.

functions:
• Clears all ties and presets
• Clears all mutes
• Enables all RS-232 pass-throughs
• Restores group masters 1 and 2 to their factory defaults (Mic volume and Volume)
NOTES:
• System reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings or replace
user-installed firmware.
• This function resets only the switcher, not any connected DTP endpoints.

Rear Panel Operations
ModeActivationResultPurpose and Notes
1
Hold down the recessed Reset button while
applying power to the switcher.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is
performed, update the
switcher firmware to the latest
version. Do not operate the
switcher firmware version that
results from the mode 1 reset.
If you want to use the factory
default firmware, you must
upload that version again
(see Updating the Firmware
on page 79 for details on
uploading firmware).
The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates three levels of resets (numbered 1, 4, and 5
for the sake of comparison with Extron IPL products). The Reset button is recessed, so use
a small screwdriver, a pointed stylus, or a ballpoint pen.
NOTE: This section describes the functions of the switcher Reset button (see T on
page 45), not the IPCP control module Reset button.
See the table below for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION:
• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset may result in unintended
loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a switcher reboot.
• Étudier de près les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer le mauvais mode
de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la programmation de la
mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports ou une réinitialisation du processeur.
NOTE: The reset modes listed below close all open IP and Telnet connections and close
all sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a continuation from
Mode 1 to Mode 5.
Reset Mode Comparison and Summary
The switcher reverts to the factory default firmware.
Event scripting will not start if the switcher is powered on
in this mode. All user files and settings (such as drivers,
adjustments, and IP settings) are maintained.
NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware,
or you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake,
cycle power to the switcher to return to the
firmware version that was running before the
mode 1 reset. Use the
the
Query controller firmware version SIS
command on page 63) to confirm that the
factory default firmware is no longer running

Hold down the Reset button for about
9 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks
three times (once at 3 seconds, again at
6 seconds, and then again at 9 seconds).
Then press and release Reset (<1 second)
within 1 second. Nothing happens if the
second momentary press does not occur
within 1 second.
Mode 4:
• Enables ARP capability.
• Sets the IP address to the factory default.
• Sets the subnet address to the factory default.
• Sets the gateway address to the factory default.
• Sets port mapping to the factory default.
• Turns DHCP off.
• Turn events off.
The Reset LED blinks four times in quick succession
during the reset.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory
defaults (with the exception of the firmware):
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Resets most real time adjustments, including:
clears all ties and presets,
clears all HDMI mutes,
enables all RS-232 pass-throughs,
clears all audio settings.
• Resets all IP options.
The reset LED blinks four times in quick succession during

NOTE: The hard reset restores the factory-installed firmware. The switcher reverts to
the most recent firmware (the firmware that was running before the reset) the next time
power is cycled unless a firmware update is performed before the power cycle.
1. If necessary, turn off power to the switcher.
2. Use a small screwdriver to press and hold the switcher (not IPCP) Reset button on the
right side of the rear panel while you apply AC power to the switcher (see figure 28).

Programming Guide
The switcher can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured with the following:
•The Extron Product Configuration Software and DSP Configurator software (see Matrix
Software
•Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Operation on page 141)
•SIS commands (see below)
This section describes the operation of the switcher via SIS commands, including:
•Host Control Ports
•Host-to-Switcher Instructions
•Switcher-Initiated Messages
•Switcher Error Responses
•Using the Command and Response Tables
•Command and Response Table for Matrix Switcher Commands
•Command and Response Table for Remote and Communications Protocol
Commands
•Special Characters
on page 73)
NOTE: This section details the matrix-switcher-centric SIS commands. Additional
Host Control Ports
The switcher has a serial port and a USB port. IPCP models have three Ethernet LAN ports
and the non-IPCP model has one LAN port. Any of these ports can be connected to a host
device such as a computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or the HyperTerminal utility,
or a control system. These ports make control of the switcher possible.
The rear panel Remote port and front panel Configuration port are independent of one
another. A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote port
connection and all LAN ports can be active at the same time.
Serial Port
The rear panel Remote port is an RS-232 serial port on a 3-pin captive screw connector
(see item S on page 15).
The default serial port protocol of the rear panel Remote port is:
•9600 baud•No parity•8 data bits
•No flow control•1 stop bit
See
Remote port from the front panel. Extron recommends leaving the Remote port at 9600
baud.
commands are available for the DSP (see the DSP SIS Commands section,
beginning on page 147).
Selecting the Remote Port Baud Rate on page 42 to configure the rear panel
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide51
Page 60
USB Port
The front panel Configuration port (see item A on page 21) is a standard USB port. A USB
cable, terminated on one end with a USB mini-B male connector, is available at any local
electronics store.
Ethernet (LAN) Ports
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see item Q [non-IPCP model] on page 14
or item R [IPCP models] on page 15).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the DTP CrossPoint
switcher.
• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the DTP CrossPoint switcher to an
Ethernet LAN or direct connection between the computer and switcher.
Default IP addresses
To access the DTP CrossPoint switcher via the LAN port, you need the IP address for the
unit, and may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been
changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual
numeric IP address for the DTP CrossPoint using the ping (ICMP) utility. For all control
access information and other details for the IPCP Pro 350, see the IPCP Pro Series User Guide at www.extron.com.
The factory-specified defaults are:
DTP CrossPoint 4K SeriesIPCP Pro 350
IP address192.168.254.254192.168.254.250
Subnet mask255.255.0.0255.255.255.0
Gateway address0.0.0.00.0.0.0
NOTE: For IPCP models:
• The values listed above are the same for all three LAN ports.
• The LAN ports give access to either the DTP CrossPoint or the built-in IPCP control
processor.
• The unused ports function as a simple, multiport, unmanaged network switch so
that you can connect additional devices to the same network.
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide52
Page 61
Establishing a connection
Establish a network connection to a DTP CrossPoint switcher as follows:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the IP address of the switcher.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the
factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
The switcher responds with a copyright message including the the name of the product,
firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
NOTES:
• If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS
commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.
• If the switcher is password-protected, a Password: prompt appears below the
copyright message.
2. If the switcher is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login
Administrator.
If the password is not accepted, the Password: prompt reappears.
Connection timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By
default, this timeout value is set to five minutes but the value can be changed (see the
Configure port timeout SIS command on page 70).
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle
periods, Extron recommends disconnecting the socket and reopening the connection
when another command must be sent.
Number of connections
A DTP CrossPoint switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all
HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher
accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication
is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize performance of an IP
device, the number of connections should stay low and unnecessary open sockets should
be closed.
Using verbose mode
Telnet connections to a DTP CrossPoint switcher can be used to monitor for changes that
occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from other Telnet
sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices from the switcher,
the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the Verbose Mode SIS command
on page 71).
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide53
Page 62
Host-to-Switcher Instructions
The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through the rear panel
Remote RS-232 port, the front panel Configuration port, and the rear panel Ethernet
(LAN) port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They
do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence.
Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or
more characters.
Switcher-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds
by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).
The switcher does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host program
might request a new status.
The switcher initiates the Copyright message on the Remote RS-232 port when it is first
powered up and on a newly connected Internet protocol (IP) port. Vx.xx is the firmware
version number and 60-nnnn-nn is the switcher part number.
Password:
The switcher initiates the Password message immediately after the copyright message
when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the switcher is
password protected. This message means that the switcher requires an administrator or
user level password before it will perform the commands entered via this link. The switcher
repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a
valid password is entered.
Login Administrator
]
Login User
]
The switcher initiates the Login message when a correct administrator or user password
has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the switcher
defaults to administrator privileges.
Qik
]
The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel tie creation has occurred.
Rprnn
]
The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a memory preset has been recalled from the
front panel. “nn” is the preset number.
GrpmDn*y
The switcher initiates the Grpm message when a front panel Volume knob is adjusted. “n” is
the control: 1 (Volume) or 2 (Mic Volume).”y” is the variable.
Exen
]
The switcher initiates the Exe message when the front panel security lockout (executive
mode) is toggled on or off from the front panel. “n” is the executive mode: 0, 1, or 2. See
Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes) on page 43 for more information on
the Lock modes.

Switcher Error Responses
Space
When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the
command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform
the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher
returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 — Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E10 — Invalid command
E11 — Invalid preset number (out of range)
E12 — Invalid output number (out of range)
E13 — Invalid value (out of range)
E14 — Invalid command for this configuration
E22 — Busy
E24 — Privileges violation (Users have access to all view and read commands [other than
the administrator password], and can create ties, presets, and audio mutes)
E25 — Device not present
E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded
E28 — Bad filename or file not found
E33 — Bad file type or size (for logo assignment)
Using the Command and Response Tables
The command and response tables begin on page 58. Symbols used in the table represent
variables in the command and response fields. Command and response examples are
shown throughout the table. The SIS commands are not case sensitive. The ASCII to HEX
conversion table below is for use with the command and response table.

Special Characters
The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The switcher does
not accept these characters as part of names, passwords, or locally created file names.
The switcher rejects the following characters:

colon (:) | \ and ?.
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Programming Guide72
Page 81
Matrix Software
The DTP CrossPoint Matrix Switcher can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured via:
• SIS commands (see Programming Guide on page 51)
• Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Operation on page 141)
• The following two Extron computer programs:
• Product Configuration Software
• DSP Configurator
This section details the two programs, both available on the Extron website. The section
covers:
• Software Operational Considerations and Installation
• Product Configuration Software
• DSP Configurator Program
• Optimizing the Audio
The Windows-based Extron DSP Configurator program and Extron Product Configuration
Software (PCS) communicate with the switcher via the following ports:
• Rear panel LAN ports — Password-protected RJ-45 connections (see Software
Operation via Ethernet on the next page).
• Front Panel Configuration port — A non-password-protected USB mini-B port (see
Software Operation via USB Port on the next page).
Both programs are compatible with Windows XP, Service Pack 2, and later.
The Product Configuration Software manages basic functions such as:
• Video and audio matrix (making ties) • Test patterns
• Video input and output configuration • RS-232 insertion
• Scaler setup and picture controls • Line audio input level and output volume
• EDID management
The DSP Configurator software provides all of the tools and controls necessary for
configuring and controlling the advanced audio mixing and processing functions available in
the digital signal processor built into the switcher.
NOTE: The DSP Configurator has a software lock that protects the complex DSP
audio adjustments, making them unavailable for selection in PCS. This protects
the DSP settings against inadvertent changes made by the more basic PCS audio
adjustment capabilities.
This software lock can be overridden, but Extron STRONGLY advises against
doing so.
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software73

Software Operational Considerations and Installation
— OR
Software Operation via Ethernet
When the switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN (see item Q [non-IPCP
model] on page 14 or item R [IPCP models] on page 15), up to 200 users can be
connected to locally or remotely operate it, using the DSP Configurator or Product
Configuration Software.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are two
levels of password protection:
• Administrators have full access to all matrix switching capabilities and editing functions.
• Users can select inputs and outputs, save and recall presets, and view all settings with
the exception of passwords.
If the same password or no password is required for logging on, all personnel log on with
administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are not available in
the Product Configuration Software when the operator is logged on as a user.
Software Operation via a USB Port
The front panel Configuration port (see item A on page 21) and a standard USB cable,
can be used for remote control of the switcher using the DSP Configurator or Product
Configuration Software. The standard USB cable must be terminated on one end with a
USB mini-B male connector and on the other end with a USB A connector.
Installing the Software
The PCS, version 3.2 or newer, and DSP Configurator, version 2.10 or newer, are available
on the Extron website. Download and install both programs as follows:

Using the Program
In the DSP Configurator window in Emulate mode, you can tailor a variety of audio
parameters and then transfer them to the DTP CrossPoint by going to Live mode
(connected to a DTP CrossPoint). You can also switch to Live mode and then tailor the
audio settings in real time, while listening to the audio output with a critical ear (see Emulate
mode vs. Live mode on page 113).
There are three possible DSP Configurator displays, listed below, with the following available
switching functions:
• Audio and video I/O page — Make video and audio ties (audio follow) and audio
adjustments
• Audio-only I/O page — Make audio only ties (audio breakaway) and audio adjustments
• Video-only I/O page — Make video only ties (video breakaway)
The DSP Configurator program always starts in the audio and video I/O page, as shown in
figure 42 on the previous page. The audio-only I/O page looks virtually identical. The video-
only I/O page omits all of the audio control blocks (see Video-only I/O page and audio-
only I/O page on page 110).
The DSP Configurator program window consists of a number of signal processor chains, an
AV matrix block, a mic mixer block, and several other mixer blocks (see figure 42).

Audio signal processor chains and control blocks
Double-click the to insert
in this block.
Each of the six signal processing chains (A, B, D, E, F, and K) consists of one or
more control blocks of two basic types that are specific to that chain: gain, trim, post-gain,
and volume control blocks (collectively known as “gain blocks” –
processor blocks (
, see figure 44
). For example, the audio input 1 chain consists of a gain
, see figure 43
fader, a filter block, two dynamic blocks, a delay block, and a trim fader. Gain controls are
always active (present) in the signal processor chain. Processor blocks, while always shown
in the program window, must be individually activated (“inserted”) as shown in figure 44.
Many gain blocks can be muted and process block controls can be bypassed. Mutes and
bypasses are shown by a red indicator in the block.
Gain blocks — The parameters set by the gain blocks are always present in the signal
chain. To access the actual fader control to view a value, make a change, or observe a live
audio meter (Input Gain chain and Output Volume chain Gain blocks only), double-click the
gain block icon (see figure 43). This action opens a dialog box, a new window that contains
the fader for that control.

possible processes (such as filters) that can be inserted into the audio stream. For blocks
that provide more than one processor, only one processor can be selected. Each block can
be inserted by a double-click or right-click >Insert and selecting the desired processor
(see figure 44 on the previous page). Once a block is inserted, the selected processor is
displayed in the block and the block itself changes color.
Each processor has a set of associated parameters that define that processor (such as
a frequency curve). Those parameters can be accessed and changed by double-clicking
again on the now inserted process block. This action opens a customizable dialog box, a
new window that contains parameters for the process (see figure 45).
Figure 45. Sample Processor Dialog Box
NOTE: Figure 45 is a sample of one type of dialog box. The contents and appearance
of each processor are unique to that processor.
• The SetDefaults button discards all custom settings and reloads the
defaults.
• The Bypass button temporarily suspends the processor without removing the
processor block.
By default, each processor block is automatically bypassed when inserted (the Bypass button
in the processor dialog box is selected), although this can be changed for each processor
block type (see DSP Configurator Tools menu on page 118 and the specific tabs for the
processor types). When a processor is bypassed, a red indicator in the block turns on.
The block can be removed from the audio stream by selecting it and depressing the
keyboard <Delete> key or by right-clicking and selecting Delete.

• Any other format — The original digital audio is not de-embedded and is not
routed into the DSP. No audio is available on the analog audio output (captive
screw) connector (see item J on page 13).
• Auto — Audio is automatically selected between the digital and analog inputs, with
the digital input having priority. When the DetectedFormat field (4) displays either
None or Multi-Channel, the analog input is automatically selected.
Based on the selection made in this box, when the dialog box is closed, the Gain block
reports AutoGain, DigGain, or AngGain.
Detected Format: field — This field displays the detected digital

audio format. The displayed format can be either:
• None — No digital signal format is detected. This may be due to a source device
being switched off or not connected. Some digital audio players may not output a
detectable signal (or no digital audio clock) when paused or stopped.
• Analog input audio passes through the DSP to any output when AudioFormat
(3) is set to Analog or Auto.
• Digital input audio is not passed to any output.
• 2-Ch LPCM — The detected format is uncompressed digital audio, in stereo or
2-channel format. This does not include Dolby or DTS stereo formats, as these
audio formats are encoded.
• LPCM input audio passes through the DSP to any output when AudioFormat
(3) is set to Digital or Auto.
• Embedded LPCM input audio passes directly to an HDMI or DTP output,
bypassing the DSP, if the OutputSignalSource control in the Volume block
of that output is set to Original (see item 6 in Output signal processor
chain Volume controls on page 103).
• Analog input audio is not passed to any output.
DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software87

• Multi-Channel — The detected format is any compressed or encoded digital
audio format, such as Dolby or DTS multi-channel.
• Multi-channel input audio does not pass through the DSP regardless of
selected AudioFormat (3). Gain, mute controls, and meters are disabled and
unavailable for operation throughout the DSP.
• Multi-channel input audio passes to an HDMI or DTP output, bypassing the
DSP, if the OutputSignalSource control in the Volume block of that output
is set to Original (see item 6 in Output signal processor chain Volume
controls on page 103).
• Analog input audio passes through the DSP to any output when AudioFormat

line level (or you can see the suggested setting if you insert a building block for
a consumer audio product [see Signal Path Building Blocks on page 124]).
• Setting the digital gain without a signal present is less likely. If you know the
general level of your source material you can attempt this but Extron does not
recommend doing so.
NOTE: When the left and right channels are ganged, either Mute button mutes and
unmutes both channels.

Filter block — The filter processor block, when first inserted, provides
one of ten filter selections; additional filters can then be added. A filter
attenuates (removes) or boosts a range of frequencies from an audio
waveform, while passing other frequencies. Click the desired filter to select
it.
NOTE: Selecting Bass &TrebleFilter inserts two separate filters.
Additional filters, for a total of up to three filters, can then be added by double-clicking the
processor block. Additionally, the frequency range of each filter can be changed in the
dialog box, customized to the filter, that is accessed by double-clicking the processor block.
To add a second or third filter to the filter block, select the desired filter

HighPassand LowPass filters —
A high pass filter passes a band of frequencies extending from a
specified cutoff frequency (greater than zero) up toward the high
end of the frequency spectrum. All frequencies above the specified
cutoff frequency are allowed to pass, attenuating all frequencies
below. The default cutoff is 100 Hz.
A low pass filter passes a band of frequencies extending from a specified cutoff
frequency (less than infinite) down toward the low end of the frequency spectrum. All
frequencies below the specified cutoff frequency are allowed to pass, attenuating all
frequencies above. The default cutoff is 10 kHz.
• Butterworth filters — These filters have maximally flat magnitude responses, with
no amplitude ripple in the passband. The Butterworth filters in the switcher have a
3-dB down point at the corner frequency.
• Linkwitz-Riley filters — These filters consist of cascaded 2nd-order Butterworth
filters, and may be helpful when audio exhibits severe peaking. The Linkwitz-Riley
filters in the switcher have a 6-dB down point at the corner frequency.
• Bessel filters — These filters use a linear or maximally flat phase response and
a monotonically decreasing passband amplitude response to produce a constant
time-delay with all frequencies within the passband are delayed the same amount
(a near-perfect step response). The drawback is a sluggish roll-off rate compared to
Butterworth filters. The Bessel filters in the switcher have a 3-dB down point at the
corner frequency
Bassandtreble filters — Also known as shelving or tone filters, the separate bass
and treble filters give the ability to cut or boost gain evenly above or below a given
frequency, with the end-band shape giving the visual appearance of a shelf. These filters
are typically applied to program material, and are expressed as bass and treble control.
The default bass frequency is 100 Hz and the treble default is 8 kHz.
Parametricequalizer filter — A parametric equalizer is a variable equalizer that
offers control of all parameters, including amplitude (boost or cut — the amount of gain
(boost) or gain reduction (cut) that is applied at a given frequency), center frequency
(frequency), and bandwidth (Q). This allows the user to control the amplitude of each
band, shift the center frequency, and widen or narrow the affected area.
Notch filter — These filters attenuate a narrow band of frequencies to minimize
feedback.
Loudness filter — Not currently functional.

Dynamics blocks (2) — The two dynamics processor blocks, when inserted,
4444444444
each provide one of four dynamic processors. A dynamic processor alters
the dynamic range of an audio signal, the difference between the loudest to
the quietest portions of the signal above the noise floor of the system.
Dynamic range can either be increased using an expander (noise gate) or reduced using a
compressor. Click the desired dynamics processor to select it or to view a live audio
meter as shown at right.
The parameters of each processor can be changed in the dialog box, customized to
the processor, that can be accessed by double-clicking the processor block.
Automatic gain control (AGC) — AGC adjusts the gain level based upon the strength
1
of the incoming signal to achieve a more consistent volume. Above a set threshold,
weaker signals receive more gain to reach a user-defined target level; stronger signals
receive less gain or no gain at all.
A window range is also applied above and below the target level. When the signal
reaches the window, gain control starts scaling in a linear fashion toward the target level
to achieve smoother results.
The default threshold is -40 dB. The default target level is -10.0 dB. The default gain
and window are 12.0 dB.
Compressor — The compressor regulates the level of the input signal by reducing,
2
or compressing, the dynamic range of the signal above a specified threshold. The
input-level-to-output-level ratio of the signal determines the reduction in the dynamic
range beyond the threshold setting. For example, with a ratio setting of 2:1, for every
2 dB of input the compressor outputs 1 dB of gain.
Compression is commonly used to keep mic levels within an acceptable range for
maximum clarity. A compressor make softer sounds louder either by reducing the
dynamic range and then raising the output level of the compressor (referred to as
make-up gain), or by increasing the input signal and then preventing clipping by
reducing the louder portions of the signal. This has the effect of making louder portions
of a signal softer. Compression also can be used, similar to a limiter, to protect a system
or a signal chain from overload.
The default threshold is -30 dB. The ratio is 2.0:1.
Limiter — The limiter regulates the level of the input signal by severely restricting its
3
dynamic range above a specified threshold. The limiter prevents clipping and protects
a system against component or speaker damage. The limiter is closely related to the
compressor but applies a much higher compression ratio, in excess of 20:1 (often
expressed as ∞:1) and with a high threshold setting (default is -10 dB, close to clipping).
The ratio cannot be changed.
Noisegate — The noise gate is an expander, expanding the dynamic range of a
4
signal below a specified threshold. To simplify, it makes soft signals softer, effectively
removing background noise while allowing a stronger signal, above the threshold,
to pass. Using a high ratio of 20:1, the expander closes the audio path below the
threshold, eliminating background noise, opening the path above the threshold to allow
signal to pass; hence the term “noise gate”.
The default threshold is -65 dB. The ratio is 20.0:1.
Delay block — The delay processor block, when inserted, provides a means
to delay the audio signal to sync it to video. The processor can delay the audio
using either time or distance in feet or meters between the video display and audio
speakers, as a determiner. The default delay, when inserted, is at 100 ms using the time
function. The settings of the delay block can be changed in the dialog box that can be
accessed by double-clicking the processor block. When you select either Feet or Meters,
you can also specify a temperature, in either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius The
processor calculates the change in speed of sound for the specified temperature.

AEC block — The AEC block, when inserted, contains a number of
meters and indicator LEDs necessary for gain structure setup and
monitoring activity.
See AEC Tutorial on page 129 for a more detailed examination of the
Acoustic Echo Cancellation functions.
Activity indicators —
1
• Far – Lights when activity is detected at the remote (reference)
site monitored for echo cancellation.
• Near – Lights when activity is detected from the local site.
• Update – Lights when the AEC is updating, converging, or
reconverging.

• ERL (echo return loss)— The ratio in dB between the signal at the reference and the
signal at the AEC channel input. When ERL is a positive number, the signal level
at the AEC channel input is lower than the signal at the selected reference (0 to
+15dB is desirable).
• ERLE (echo return loss enhancement) — The amount in dB of potential echo signal
that the AEC algorithm, not including non-linear processing (NLP), is cancelling.
• TER (total echo reduction) — The sum of ERL + ERLE, in dB.
Reference — Select the AEC reference line from a drop-down list.

You must select the AEC reference, otherwise the echo canceller will
not work. The list is populated with the following:
state noise, such as air conditioning or other continuous
system noise, and effectively removes it without causing
audible artifacts. The default setting is noise cancellation on and set to 15dB of
attenuation.
• Cancel Noise by: radio button — Click to toggle the noise cancellation on and off.
• Threshold (dB): — Set the attenuation threshold for noise cancellation in dB.
The default is 15.0dB. Up to 20dB of noise cancellation is available, in 0.1dB
increments.
Bypass button — Click to toggle the bypass on and off. Bypass removes
